Moving Day One: Not nearly as bad as past moving days. The only casualties so far: a crystal pitcher, a table lamp, and a completely disassembled wall unit that won't fit in the space we'd hoped for it. I had lots of fun taking digital photos of the packing crate with the stuff that fell over because it was so poorly stacked. I especially liked the way the guys put a computer monitor and CPU just wrapped in paper in a "wardrobe" box. How did I miss that two years ago?
Oh, and there's the fact that they sent the truck to our old address. My, what a rude wake-up for the current residents. Can you imagine, 8:00 in the morning, and there's a big-ol'tractor-trailer at your doorstep and a crew of strangers asking where you want all this stuff?
Tomorrow we get more stuff and the TV guy shows up to hook up our satellite dish. The hilarity ensues when the guys with the trucks try to find our house with our street sign AWOL. (Oh, did I mention that? Our street sign is gone.) Welcome to the neighborhood.
